Bullseye

[Airborneguy]

Shot my first bullseye competition today. I did "so-so" using my Auto Ordnance stock 1911 with 230gn reloads. Shot a 299.

Most of my training has been focused on speed and timing with larger targets, so as expected I did much better on the later stages.

I'm definitely bringing a 9mm next time, probably my old service S&W 5946. I have to find a new use for it now that I retired it from work.

299 out of what? If you want to do better with that 45 get yourself some 200 gr LSWC loads a Briley spherical barrel bushing would help too.

If 299 out of 300 is so-so to you well then you have higher standards than I. If it was 299 out of 500 I could see your point.

If I shoot 42 out of 50 at 300 yards I consider that a good day shooting. If I shot 42 put of 50 with my 1911 at 25 yards I would also consider that a good day. My eyes ain't what they used to be.

600. It was a 60 shot competition. That's not standard I guess?

I'm going on about 8 months at my local range now. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to join this place! I was taken there as a visitor over 10 years ago and just never got around to signing up. I love it.

I don't know I haven't fired Bulls eye ever. All I ever normally shoot IPSC or Brnch rest. I did get into action rifle in my late 20s but that was all hit miss at various distances out to 200 yards.
